makes some things harder, for instance... Deal correctly with the case
where the user-supplied hostname is already fully qualified with the
domain name they supplied. Addresses PR#6955.
cleanups before extracting a set. Should'nt do anything for an install,
as the filesystem shouldn't contain files that need to be removed.
cleanup_dist() is called before extract_file() for each set (the set name
is passed as parameter). It will open a file /dist/<set name>_obsolete
if it exists. This file should contain a list of files (absolutes
pathnames) that needs to be removed. cleanup_dist() will lstat() each file
to determine if it's there and if it's a directory or not.
It will then unlink() entries that are not directories and then rmdir()
directories. If a directory is not empty (it should now if the list of files
is correct) it will be renamed to <directory.old> and the user will be warned.
Other changes:
- move prototype of target_prefix() in defs.h, don't maintain a copy
of it in each file.
- in install.c, after MSG_disksetupdone, do a wclear(stdscr) (display was
clobbered after it).
- kill MSG_openmsgbuf, it's not used anywhere
- after MSG_disksetupdone in upgrade, don't call MENU_ok, do it the
same way as in install.
- add wclear(stdscr);/wrefresh(stdscr); before calling MENU_distset (another
display problem ...)
- While I'm there, move ask_verbose_dist() before MENU_distmedium. This way,
if all go well the user can go away one ftp starts and come back once
sets are extracted.
- in run_prog(), do an explicit wclear(stdscr); wrefresh(stdscr);
before launching subwindows. This seems to solve all the display
problems associated with run_prog().
enter partitions offet and size. The user can chose unit independantly of
the unit used for display ('M'/'c'/'s'). These functions do the proper
bound checks and alignement/roudups. Used in the edfspart menu and
i386 md_make_bsd_partitions() (other ports should do the change as
well).
- now that getpartsize() does the rigth thing, kill the swapadj hack (which was
buggy anyway).
- in i386 md_make_bsd_partitions(), don't propose defaults that don't fit on
the disk. If the disk is too small, fallback to custom instead.
- fix a bug in mbr.c, where the partition flags would not have always been
reset. sysinst created me a MBR with 2 active partition. The boot code
doesn't like it :)
- added a message for eventual mount failures.
- killed donewfs and extracting messages, as we run the commands in a
subwindow these messages just flashed on the screen.
- Changes a few exit(1) to return(1), to give the user a second chance.
- added msg_clear() or wclear(stdscr) in a place or two, to make
display a bit nicer.
- in run_cmd(), if the command succeeded, don't wait for the user to
press enter.
- Make all the functions called from do_install() return an error code,
so that we can abort install if something went wrong.
- Add a 'errstr' argument to run_prog(), which if not NULL is displayed
with msg_printf() and followed by process_menu(MENU_ok) if the command fail.
Used to warn the user that the current action is aborted.
- in a few places use msg_display() or msg_printf() rather than printf.
It seems that stdout/stderr are not always pointing to the active curses
window.
- garbage-collecd unused messages, add a few new one (error handling).
XXX only tested on i386. Other md parts should be tested as well.
* Use structures, not 2-dimensional arrays..
* Use the DIOCGDEFLABEL ioctl to get the disk information,
to avoid confusion with (older) labels.
* Don't ever call fdisk for partitioning. This was the
source of much confusion.
* For the i386, use the BIOS geometry information passed by
the bootblocks.
Lots of things left to do, but it's a start.
